Short drama cost calculator
Enter the numbers your app shows on the unlock screen. You get the cost of finishing the series with coins and with a subscription, side by side.
With coins–
With a weekly subscription–
The calculator only does arithmetic on the numbers you enter. Weekly prices are prefilled from each app's US App Store listing, checked November 13, 2026. Some subscriptions do not unlock every series, so read the plan details in the app before paying.
How the math works
- Coins: locked episodes × coins per episode = coins needed. You can only buy whole packs, so we round up to full packs.
- Subscription: locked episodes ÷ episodes per day = days needed, rounded up to whole weeks, × the weekly price.
- Free route: if you unlock episodes with ads and daily bonuses instead, the cost is zero and the price is time.
The subscription usually wins when you watch more than one series in the week, because the cost is shared. It loses when you forget to cancel. Here is how to cancel the same day you subscribe.
Where to find each number
- Episodes in the series: on the series page, next to the title or in the episode list.
- Coins per episode: tap the first locked episode. The unlock screen shows the price in coins.
- Pack size and price: on the same screen or in the app's store or wallet page.
